TOPIC: transfer files with out ftp

i have 2 hosts , a switch and router connected to each node and a router in the middle. i have their source and destination address and default gateways.my question is how can i send a file across to the other hosts across the cloud and another router in between. i cannot use an ftp client because i cannot add an ftp server nor turn one of the hosts into a server. the file is very small im thinking about encapsulating it into a pdu with a tcp protocol and creating a session between the two.

Networkr if u said u have their gateways but u did not specify if their gateways are same. well if they are same then i will suggest from host 1 and u need to connect to host 3. first ping the 2 diff addresses to make sure u can connect / establish a connection.

Open my document and in the explorer tab u type- \\host1 that's if the name of the computer is host1.

You don't need to turn anything into a server u just have a small network. play around with it.

Note: If u have firewall or internet security enabled on the system u trying to transfer a file u might encounter a problem it has to be disabled b4 u connect.

May I add that you can also use \\IP\c$ too. So If the IP of the other PC is 192.168.2.2. You can type \\192.168.2.2\c$ in explorer's url bar and get access to the local C drive of the PC (c$ is the default share that is accessable by administrators).

If you don't want to use the default c$ share. You can create a shared folder on the other PC. Just create a new folder then right click on it then click on [Properties] then click on the [Sharing] tab and enable sharing.
